A) "Other cities" are irrelevant to the mayor's defense
B) Correct The statement proves that the mayor knew about bills that were not charged to him. Also, this statement directly targets the mayor's defense by specifically pointing out the bills.
C) This has already been stated in the argument and is irrelevant to the mayor's defence
D) Expensive materials are out of scope
E) "The amount of money" is not a part of the mayor's defence and nor is the comparision made relevant to the conclusion.
